Ukraine has launched a stal fight against the invasion launched by her bigger and more powerful neighbor Russia, but things seem to go terribly wrong because of how the third anniversary of the war is approaching.
Kyiv’s relationship with the United States, his greatest military support from the beginning of the war on February 24, 2022, quickly set off downhill from President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
As things stand, the prospect of greater American military assistance looks dead in the water, and the likelihood is increasing that the “bad” peace agreement could be established in Ukraine in which he is forced to recognize the territory of Russia.
Even the appearance of American support when it comes to the future peace mission looks unlikely, making Ukraine isolated and at sea after three long and bloody years of fighting Russia.
“The first conversations about the termination of fire in the United States (this week) have offered few reasons for Optimism for Kiev,” said Andrius Turs, a consultant advisor in Central and Eastern Europe, on Thursday.
“Washington indicated a willingness to consider a few Russian requirements that undermine Ukrainian long-term safety, while bilateral format and thawing of the US-Russia relate to concern about the defect agreement that could be very unfavorable to Ukraine. The ride of anti-American feelings in Ukraine and heating transatlantic tensions” , he said to the comments e -after.
Relations broke
The tensions appeared this week as US officials re -established relations with their Russian colleagues, excluding Ukraine from the preliminary conversations that laid the foundations for peace. At that time, Trop and Zelenskyy, on Wednesday, moved from bad to worse on Wednesday, as the latter described the US president as “living in the Russian bubble of misinformation.”
Trump returned, Describing the Ukrainian War Leader of the War was a “dictator without choice”, Citing the absence of a democratic voice in Ukraine since 2019. Ukraine says it is incurable to hold elections during the time of war law and war.
American Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, continued his visit to Kiyiv on Thursday, but there was already suspicion of the meeting value, and Kellogg was absent from the high conversations held between Russian and US officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, earlier in the week. Ukraine said Kellogg canceled a press conference that was to be held after the meeting.
Relations between the US, Europe and Ukraine last week an unexpected turn, and Trump left the Allies on the continent stupid when he announced that he had talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the leaders agreed to talk. Trump said he then informed Zelenskyy about the situation.

Trump and the Minister of Defense Peta Hegsetth caused more astonishment Stating that Ukraine was “unrealistic” to join NATO and could not expect to reclaim the territory occupied by Russian She lost in 2014, when Russia attacked the Ukrainian Black Sea Peninsula Crimea.
Hegsetth also said that there was no chance that US troops would be deployed to keep peace in Ukraine in accordance with any future agreement, because he told European leaders that he would have to step up and take responsibility for any peace retention. So far, European officials have appeared on the proposal of sending a peacetime forces in Ukraine in any post -war scenario.
Close followers of development in war and geopolitical relations between the USA of his former allies were critical of Washington’s approach, saying that the US gave too many concessions to Russia before the conversations began at all By removing the potential influence of Ukrainian NATO membership from the table.
“Trump acknowledged in advance and in front of any conversation with Ukraine, which could eventually be part of a more balanced agreement,” said the notebook in a note of Holger Schieding, the main economist at Berenberg Bank.
“For everything publicly known, Russia in return did not make any concessions. It can only abolish Russia to encourage more. To add insult to Putin’s Maximalist Requests many years ago,” he said, adding that Trump “seemed to be” has approved the almost entire false Russian story of the worst war in Europe since 1945. “
Putin Stope “High”
Russia seems to surely love every minute of disharmony between the US -ai Ukraine.
Asked about the growing growing growing on Thursday, former Kremlin secretary Dmitry Peskov commented that “Kiev’s regime loves to live on donations (related to military help) and does not like to be responsible.”
Russia has spent a significant part of its time, dealing with the US as its arc enemy, but has performed a dramatic turnaround when it comes to his rhetoric and a public position in Washington, now that Trump is in charge. Putin praised Russia on Wednesday, saying that he rated them “high” and that the mood was “very kind”.
“On the American side, there were completely different people who were open to the negotiating process without any bias, without any prejudice to what was done in the past,” he said in the comments translated by NBC News.

Putin also praised Trump to show “restraint” in the midst of what he described as “hysteria” by European leaders who are furious that they remained from the negotiations about the future of Ukraine.
As Ukraine faces potentially “gloomy” with the outcome of the war and the mass victim of human life after three long -long war that has harmed up to $ 500 billion on Earth, Kiev puts a brave face on the situation, with respect to Zelenskyy insists that he is after his dramatically dropped with Trump, that “together with America and Europe, peace can be safer; and that is our goal.”
“This should not only be our goal, but also in common with our partners. Especially when we are approaching the third anniversary of the beginning of this war – the war we wanted to end up in Ukraine from the first second. I am convinced that we will end it with lasting peace.
